Troubleshooting Campus Cable TV

 

Scanning has completed but no channels are available.

1. Check cables for tight connection at the back of the TV and at the Wall port, and inspect cable for defects and bare wires.

2. Make sure TV is in correct mode – TV should be in “cable” or “digital” mode rather than “air” or “antenna (ANT)”.

3. Using your TV remote or buttons on the TV navigate the menu to scan for channels - any time you move your TV to a new location (ex. Home to WSC) you will almost always have to scan for channels.

 

Only five or six channels are available.

If after a couple of attempts you are not getting cable signal, please contact the Campus Service Center at 402-375-7107 or [email protected]. Please keep in mind that if the issue is TV related and not with your cable outlet that staff cannot repair your personal equipment.
